After YSRCP came to power in 2019, Jagan entrusted the crucial task of fund disbursement to this officer. For five years, Jagan paid bills only to his followers, violating the FIFO (First In First Out) rules. As a result, 4 lakh petitions were filed in the High Court over pending bills. Ignoring these petitions, Jagan prioritized payments to his close associates.
Even on the day Chandrababu took his oath as CM, Satyanarayana paid bills to Jagan’s lawyers and those who argued against Amaravati. Many unconstitutional and financially crippling decisions made by the YSRCP government over the past five years were attributed to Satyanarayana.
